    I wanted to hook up a reminder beeper to my t/signal switch, and am thinking they may be the answer to prevent back-feed.

    Should I PM you my address, as to the postage required? Prefer not to post my address on a post.
    Thanks.

I really wouldn't know what to do with them if not directed by someone else!
    Short answer is yes, the diodes are designed to allow current to flow in a single direction. The silver band indicates the blocking direction where power can pass through the diode across the black portion and through the band, but not the opposite. Think of the band as a dam.
